    Hey guys,
    I migrated my data to a new mac and unable to activate my parallels 10 with the follow error message.
    Failed to activate the license: Unable to confirm the product license. You have reached the maximum number of activations available for your activation key (http://www.parallels.com/eula). Please purchase a new product license.

    Can you guys help?

    Thanks!

    Hi WILLIAML13. We have made some changes to the license key. Please quit Parallels Desktop now. Then, open Terminal (once again), execute the command --- prlsrvctl activate-license-online --- inside the Terminal window, wait till the operation completes, close Terminal and re-attempt the activation.
    Hello there. Kindly follow my instructions above.

    We have made changes to the activation key. Please follow the instructions below:
    1. Quit Parallels Desktop, then try to activate after launching it again.
    2. If you are still unable to activate, Open Terminal on the Mac and execute this command: prlsrvctl activate-license-online

    Hi,
    I'm trying to transfer parallels 10 from old mac to new mac. and can't do it.
    I've tried this:
    1. Quit Parallels Desktop, then try to activate after launching it again.
    2. If you are still unable to activate, Open Terminal on the Mac and execute this command: prlsrvctl activate-license-online

    The command worked for me in the old mac, but doesn't work on the new mac, I got this error:
    "Failed to activate the license: Unable to confirm the product license. You have reached the maximum number of activations available for your activation key (http://www.parallels.com/eula). Please purchase a new product license."
